[Elecraft] Local Noise Problem

[David Cutter]

Hi Joe

Over here I've noticed that whenever "wiring" of any kind is to be 
installed, businesses and domestics that I've heard about always employ 
qualified electricians.  The wiring itself may not need a qualified 
electrician but how it is routed and juxtaposed with mains, particularly 
when 3-phase is about, still needs that expertise.  On a new build site, why 
bother with different grades of wireman when one can do the lot?
